And fuck him.

I walked out of his house without saying a single word to him.

I was in my apartment two hours later, doing my laundry after Arielle had picked me up from Dom’s house.

She had noticed the red puffy eyes I was sporting, but thankfully, she didn’t comment on them.

My phone pinged, and I grabbed it out of my back pocket.

I tapped the screen and frowned.

Unknown – Hey.

Me – Umm, who the fuck is this?

Unknown – LMAO.

Unknown – It’s Wolf.

Unknown – Got your number from Alec.

Me – Oh. LOL.

Me – Wait, is he okay?

Wolf – Shit. Didn’t realize how that would sound.

Wolf – Yeah, darlin’, he’s fine.

Me – Oh, okay.

Wolf – I asked him for your number.

Wolf – I wanted to know if I could take you out to dinner some time.

I read his text.

Over.

And.

Over.

And I considered it.

Especially after Dom’s words last night.

Then my screen lit up.

Wolf – Did I scare you?

Me – No. I was just thinking.

Me – What did you have in mind?

Wolf – Heard about this kickass barbecue place in the next town over.
